ah now that's the Laker lineup I like to see. The one we could lose to but we're just as likely to smack around.

What up C's, ya'll ready to do this?!! Make no mistake about it. We are coming for the "W". Yes we will miss Drew so let's get that out of the way, there will be no excuses. We beat you guys twice in the Finals without him, we have to fin a way to get it done again. Looking forward to a good game & I know some of you will give me a flame war so I'll be ready because you always do :lol:

Should be a good game. It's too bad I'll be in class until about 9 tomorrow. I thought Radmanovich started over Walton for LA?

PS, love the sig, westthebest. I cracked up at that so hard.

Oh, We are coming to play.
This game is the game, all the hype about you guys not wanting the Christmas game, all the hype about the Lakers wanted revenge, all the talk about Pau and the Lakers being soft and Kobe not being able to lead the Lakers in the Finals.
Now we are without Bynum yet again but no biggie we got a strong lineup with a good bench and we are going to play in your house. Lets see what happens.
It will be a great game and I cant wait for it to begin.
Good luck Celtic fans and may the best team win.

Hope the flu-bug is on the decline....I guess a team with the flu beats losing your young center, on the Bynum front, looks like it might not be such a bad injury as no surgery was done, rest, ice, compression, maybe they''ll trot him out tonight:)

Should be a great game. Always fun to see the Lakers and Celtics as the two best teams in the NBA. I think the Celtics find a way to win this game, but it will be close.

Although this game is important to the Celtics and their fans there's no question that it's more important, once again, to the Lakers and their fans.

Celtics must attack early and often. Physicality will be key, the more physical team will win the game. I wouldn't be surprised to see a bit more chippiness than usual this game as the Lakers came out as the more aggressive physical team in the last game.

Conditioning will be key as KG might not have the full wind in his sails yet. If the Celtics win the boards, score more in the paint, and get to the line more I think that the Celtics will be in good shape.

Like Rondo said after the Sixers game about the upcoming Lakers game:

"It just another game"

You think? You forgot one. If the Celts score more points that the Lakers, they might be in good shape too! Sheesh.

Is Garnett going to play tonight? He didn't play in the past few games.

Um, basically all the things I stated relate to tough interior play on both ends... there are many other aspects of the game I could have highlighted. Another way of putting it would be, "if the Celtics are more physical in the paint than they'll win the game." Is that simple enough for ya?
